Chris Jones creates sculptures that hover between the fantastical and the mundane, composed of images from magazines, calendars, encyclopedias and posters.
Jones' life-size recreation of a motorcycle (above) for example is reminiscent of a creation from Mad Max, at once retro and futuristic, beautiful and frightening, exquisitely detailed and fragmented. These polar positions make us look at this familiar object anew. It resonates strongly with the language of movies and advertisements, but at the same time Jones allows in much broader possibilities without imposing answers.
